Articuno (Fossil 2): Difference between revisions

This card was included in the English {{TCG|Fossil}} expansion as both a Holofoil and Non Holofoil card, first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Mystery of the Fossils}} expansion as only a Holofoil card. In Japan, this card was reprinted with artwork by [[Yui Tanaka]], one of five winning entries of the {{DL|Illustration contests|64 Mario Stadium Best Photo Contest}} held in Spring 1999. This version is extremely rare and the exact number in existence is unknown. It was later reprinted with new artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]], available as a prize at the 1999 Tropical Mega Battle tournament. Those who were not in the main event could still battle each other, earning stamps for every battle they participated in. Those who completed their stamp booklet were awarded either an Articuno, {{TCG ID|Fossil|Moltres|12}} or {{TCG ID|Fossil|Zapdos|15}} phone card at random in a sealed envelope. The original print was later reprinted in the English {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} expansion as a Holofoil card.

{{m|Freeze-Dry}}, formatted on this card as '''Freeze Dry''', is a [[move]] later introduced in the [[Generation VI]] [[Pokémon games]] that {{p|Articuno}} can learn. {{m|Blizzard}} is a [[move]] in the [[Pokémon games]] that {{p|Articuno}} can learn. This card's English [[Pokédex]] entry comes from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, though it is slightly reworded. The Japanese entry comes from {{game|Red and Green|s}}.
